Sengled Alexa Light Bulb, 100 Watt Equivalent Bluetooth Mesh Color Changing Light Bulb, Smart Bulbs that Work with Alexa Only, Dimmable A19 E26 RGB Light Bulbs 1500LM, CRI>90, No Hub Required, 4 Pack

After much research, I opted to buy a 4 pack of Sengled Alexa Light Bulbs, 100W Equivalent - for use in our bedroom. I also opted to purchase an Echo Dot (gen 5) to control them as Alexa voice commands to your phone will not work. The light bulb verbiage: “Alexa Only” along with “Bluetooth Mesh” signify the bulbs will work only via Bluetooth and not via WiFi. Also, if my WiFi is down or gets a weak signal - they continue to work. They pair too easy: screw them into a lamp, turn the lamp on, say “Alexa Discover Devices”, and about 30 seconds later the bulb (device) is added to Alexa’s list of devices and named “1st Lamp” and so on for the other bulbs. FYI: the bulb is referenced as “1st Lamp” or “Lamp 1”. Or you can rename it using the Alexa App. After I installed the other 3 lights - I used the Alexa App to group them and named the group “Lights” to work with the command “Alexa Lights On”. After the initial setup using the Alexa App - I use Alexa voice commands to adjust their color, brightness and temperature via group name or individual name. And, if I manually turn a light off - it returns to its last setting when manually turned on. Here is something most interesting: they also work in 3-way rotary switch lamps. Note that click-1 is the same as “off”, and click-2 and click-3 is “on” with no difference in brightness. I saw a couple reviews that stated these 100 watt equivalent bulbs (1500 lumens) were lacking in brightness - and found that was not true. Sengled has engineered a quality bulb and I will buy more because of their easy setup, overall functionality and 3 year warranty. Update 11-30-2024: 1st problem after 10 month of daily usage. I lost almost all Alexa communications except off/on. I could not adjust color, temperature or percentage. However, it was an easy fix. I did not have to “reset” each bulb and “discover” them. I just turned all lights off via command. Then I disconnected the electric cord from the Echo Dot and waited about 30 seconds before reconnecting the cord. Then I waited about 1 minute until the time of day displayed. Then I gave a couple simple commands to Alexa to insure the Echo Dot was working. Then i gave Alexa numerous light commands to insure the problem was resolved. Too simple!

Update. 3 months later remaining bulbs no longer connect to Alexa app. Nothing works. Utter crap. Total waste of money. DON’T BUY! I received a Sengled bulb bundled with my new echo and it was easy to set up so I ordered a four pack. One of them started to flicker about 30 minutes later and suddenly burned out - emitted a terrible odor. Not sure what to do. 10 minutes later still hot to the touch. Sad because it seemed like it was a good deal. Looks like it melted!

Works excellent with Alexa. No need for WiFi. Works on Bluetooth. Alexa can dim from 1% to 100%. Also Alexa can change colors.

I've had these lights for a year now and only recently they've started acting up. I'd say these were definitely worth it lasting me a year, some of them still work perfectly fine, one flickers at times, one doesn't respond well to the alexa off/on and the last one burned out. The one that burned out was a bit scary and dangerous, we came home to the smell of burned rubber and investigated all over to discover it wad the light. Thank goodness it didn't cause a fire or anything serious. For this burn out reason I would not recommend. Otherwise they served their purpose.

Update (2023-03-10): They have become responsive again to resolve product malfunction by sending a replacement. Great service again! I think, the company went bad due to macroeconomic condition. Now they are gradually overcoming and trying to satisfy customers. Recommend to buy from them. I will upgrade to WiFi smart bulbs from Sengled brand. Update 1: Customer support has become extremely bad after removing voice call. The cell number in their website says automated voice and instructs to email support. Email support doesn't work due to lack of response from Sengled customer support team! Without being able to claim warranty, these bulbs might be useless after just few months. Maybe more if by chance! Original: I like the smart bulb. I have 8 of them. I got 2 of them replaced after 2 months. Warranty is great. They replace it soon if defect arises.

I would not buy these... I have bought two packs of these and within a couple of months, the red color no longer works in two different bulbs. This then affects most of the other colors that use the red LED color. For example, setting the bulb to purple turns the bulb blue. I will now have to purchase new bulbs, but I am definitely going with another brand. If not for this issue happening TWICE, these bulbs are fine. But don't waste your money on these.

I got a 4 pack of the 100 watts and a 60 watt with an echo purchase. The 1st 60 watt never worked right. The second worked for two weeks and I put it away, it may or may not work. The 4 pack of the 100 watt, well 1 has been working for a couple of months, one worked for a couple weeks then wouldn't light up red and in color mode they were very dim (two weeks when that started). I just replaced that one where the color modes were broken, this one lasted 3 days and the same issue (no red light and all other colors very dim almost can't tell they are on). I got one left from that box unused....I may reaplace the one in the lamp and see it if fails in the color mode also. (these were all the Bluetooth model...I expect the Wifi models are just as broken). I'd stay away from this brand, over a 50% failure rate pehaps more. Not even worth my time to attempt a replacement with Amazon, these are just bad and it is a shame.

I've had other Sengled bulbs and the Bluetooth ones work flawlessly. These are wifi and a much different story. Getting them set up and paired with Alexa was much more difficult, and I consider myself fairly tech-competent. Had them for a month and two of the mornings they did not turn off according to the schedule because of an 'unreachable' error. Now two of the three bulbs have changed colors randomly and I can't change them back because of a 'server unresponsive' error. I'll do the troubleshooting tonight and I'm sure I can get them working again but honestly they are more of a hassle than I'd prefer. I just need them to work.

i bought different type of "Sengled" lights, here are my finding.. - 60w 800lm softwhite - its okay, pretty dark to me, good for task light, table lamp. hot to touch after 5mins than Phillips Hue - 100w 1500lm softwhite - mabe around 1200lm, but its also same price as Phillips Hue Softwhite.. so.. why not go for a branded one? One of them didnt work, returning whole pack. hot to touch after 5mins than Phillips Hue - 100w 1500lm RGB - def not 1500, more like 800lm, i also found the "soft white" warmer color is actually more bright. I like it show RGB color at start, so you know its not soft light bulb. great for its price. - Alexa can only add simple colors. I downloaded the app but lazy to reset to test the RGB and i'm returning. not sure if it can do dial and disco like Hue can do with plugin. - Compare with Phillips Hue.. i had a set of Phillips since 4 years ago, used for a year or 2, the hub ocassionally have problem, and i later feel bored with it so never use it. But Hue runs much less cold, its warm during run, but not hot like Sengled. If its same price, or 20% less, i would still go for Hue, as it should last longer, better community support and possibly software. Personal take: - returning 60w softwhite - 100w softwhite has problem so i have to return anyway, going to try Hue softwhite, if its good keep, if not, gonna buy Sengled 100w again, hopefully wont have problem. - RGB is too dark, and i have Hue.. returning and buy when i need extra RGB. UPDATE: trying to set up all software 100w, 2 out of 4 has issue. tried reset (on/off 10 times), didnt work, tried few things randomly. didnt work. i start to doubt on their quality, I dont want to waste time on this, planning to return all these lights.

Easy to install and link to your Alexa device. (Make sure it's linked to your account when you buy it.) Bright enough in soft white mode to light up a small room. Other colors are not as bright, but can be used for a relaxing effect. The only thing that limits these bulbs is that you only have 16 discreet colors instead of being able to dial your own through an RGB color mixer.

After 5 months, three out of four lost the ability to show red, so all the colours that need red are done. Two bulbs won’t show blue. All bulbs receive commands and turn on and off in one colour, but Alexa says that they are not responding, check connection. I reset all of them, deleted them from Alexa, reregistered all four, regrouped them, nothing changed, and one won’t even respond as a single bulb but turns on when you turn on All Bulbs, not even just the subset of living room, or individual command. 5 months began the colour problems, 8 months brought the connection and not responding problem. Trying a different brand. I can’t believe I paid $60 for four lightbulbs that lasted 5 months before starting to drastically fail. LED’s are supposed to last so much longer than incandescent. I have other led bulbs that have lasted for years and are still going, but the circuitry in this brand must be very cheap to fail like this.

These are VERY easy to install, setup and maintain than most smart bulbs. The problem is the high lumen rating. Even though they say its 100w equivalent, 1600 lumens, it is barely over 800-900. I use 1600lm lights in my main areas so immediately after replacing, I could notice the light getting halved. Double check the brightness in alexa, nope. Thats the max. I also bought some 800lm bulbs from the same line for my dinette so I decided to test it. The lights were also dimmer compared to my regular 800lm led, though not a lot. Curious some more even, I installed a lux meter on my phone, and the 800lm sengleds were about 20-25% dimmer than a regular 800lm, while the 1600lm smart variants were a whopping 50-60% dimmer than a regular 1600lm Seriously, if you really want a bright 1600lm one, DO NOT buy this

I have bought many products from Sengled over the years. Used to be great. Easy to integrate into an Alexa environment and just plain work. Not the cheapest but worth the money. This latest purchase is problematic. Two of the four bulbs refuse to link up with Alexa. They turn on but will not connect or allow any control. The other two connect just fine but for some reason one of them is like 10 seconds behind the other when changes are made via Alexa. Even though they are in the same fixture. Not happy with this.
